SENATOR GEORGES proposition to
purchase old patents for genera use,
where the government can obtain
them at reasonable valuation, il a
wise and boneticent thought. Tins
whole country is now enslaved by
patents, and the one single item, de
nominated "royalty," is eating away
the profits of all labor, which is about
the only unpatcnted article In the
universe. Ali patents in General use
should be purchased by the govern

MIR. Mills World interview on the
tariff affords but little information
and not even a well deiiued opinion.
He evidently didn't desire to say any
thing, or had nothing to say; but the
little talk with the reporter and its
transmission over the wires adver-
tised the World. The "expre ssed
confidence that the tariff measure will
pass the house without much debate
and be presented to the senate at an
early day" is encouraging, tor the
country has heard the argument and
ia ready to write its verdict.

The Chicago Drainage Bills have been
reported back to the Legislature by the
committee with the recommendation that
they do pass. There have been some mod.
iticatlons of the bill, but in just what par.

likely, however, that they embody the de
mands of the Illinois Valley, and even a
Chicago paper, the Ne,rs, has been bold
enough to condemn the whole scheme
The Legislature in justice to the rest of
the State should kill the scheme, at least
until an intelligent commission have re-

THE ORGAN FACTORY.

Yesterday the organ factory people, by
their committee, came TO Ottawa, In &C
cordance with the request sent to them,
and the Ottawa committee was in session
with them nearly all day. A contract was
drawn up, stating in substance that the
Ottawa organization agree to give the or
gan factory plat of ground ;00y2GG feet,
and $50 900 in cash, one half payable Aug
lst, 1897, and the other half Aug. |, 1888,
with interest on $4,000 fer one year at
per cent. The organ factory people, In
their turn, agree to build a factory 40x4O0
feet, three stories high (Which is one third
larger than they had previously promised
to build, and 10 equip and operate this
factory for the manufacture of organs.
This contract was signed by the committee
from the company, consisting Of the pres.
dent, L. B. Merrltield, and Messrs j. f.
Odds and O. Lundstrom, while on the part
of Ottawa the contract is now being signed
by the subscribers, and will be sent to
Mendoza. The land will be surveyed at
once, and rs soon AS it Is surveyed the
deeds will be made out and the whole ar.
rangement closed up. Ottawa may be
proud of this addition to her enterprises
and 70 her POPULATION.

that he has he will draw like q Touchdown
between editors.
Coquelin, as he is written about, is all art
list. Ii he is known to any one in the more
natural character of man and citizen, nobody
has said anything about it yet. In the begin
ming of his life he was Benoit Constant Co.
quelin; but he has dropped the first name
and is simply Constant Coquelin now. He
was born on the 23d of January, 1871, at Bou-
logne-sur-mer, and his father was a respect
able baker. He is, then, 48 years old. Not
young as the world rates age, and not old MS
the stage rates it. The land of the footlights
knows no old age for its great people.
Genius can throttle Time, the enemy, andlive

youth.
actor is perishable-even more SO than the
painters. This he calls the misfortune of his
craft, as it is cheated thereby of the supreme
consolation of unappreciated genius, the ap-
peal to posterity. He says: aHowever, mis-
fortune though it be, it is no degradation.
We are to be pitied for it, that is all. Love
us the more for it, dear, charitable public,
since you are at once our present and our
future, and our immortality dies with the
echo Of your applause"
NJ. Coquelin has the sensible idea Of genius,
too. He believes it is closely related to per-
%sistence and hard work, and that inspiration
It's wrought out and not waited for. He SAYS:
eNothing is more likely to produce, inspira-
ton than good, hard, preparatory work. He
has carried out his theory; he has worked in
cessantly. He was admitted to the Coincide
Franchise when but 81 years OF age, and be-
came a societaire at "a, all of which meant
that he had paid for these privileges in the
coin of eternal vigilance.
His claims to public homage, do not, it is
said, lie in the usual stock of famous actors.
He isn't young, beautiful, or insinuating. 1t
Is all a question Of talent, of execution. He
doesn't depend upon good looks, picturesque
ness OF appearance, or splendid stage clothes.
Heisn'te even romantic looking in any par
ticular. At first sight he seems formed only
for the broadcast comedy.
Mr.. James says he is an image Of success. as
well as of resolution. It CAME to him the first
time he trod the stage. He has yet to meet
defeat. He has an immense repertory, as
well as a "telling. voice, and in the United
States he will be likely to find plenty Of elbow
room for both.

cooUELIN, THE FRENCH ACTOR.

l
He Is Soon Coming TO This Country to
be Seen and Heard.
Coquelin is to make his appearance in New
York in the immediate future. Coquelin is
an actor from the Coincide Franchise cele-
brated in his own country to greatness, and
already in this to the point of being the sub
1ect OF seven magazine pages by Henry
James. One may read them through and
gather therefrom an idea that M. Coqueiin is
no end of a figure int his profession, with q
repertory as long as the tail of a comet; but
as for getting any impression of the man from
those seven pages, that is something nobody
can do, not even a Hindu adept who goes
around in his astral body and finds out all
things.
Two things one can learn from Mr.. James,
article, however. First, that he began to be
educated in dramatic taste seventeen years
ago when he first saw Coquelin act. Second,
that Coqueiin has a voice. 1t must be a very
remarkable voice, because it isn't sweet, but
it is extraordinarily clear, firm and ringing,
and seems to have a peculiar power to carry.
Mr.. James says that as he wrote he seemed to
hear it ascend like a rocket (which goes up
with a long fizz-zz, as everybody knows)
to the great, hushed dome of the the
alter of the Rue de Richelieu, and that
it then vibrated and dashed the air at a great
rate. 1t seemed to proceed from some
